The case: In January, a resident at a Hillsboro senior living center reported money stolen from a room. Detectives obtained permission to set up a surveillance camera and recorded video of a suspect taking money. James Michael Eldridge, 19, was arrested on multiple accusations of criminal mistreatment and theft. Eldridge, who was subsequently fired, worked as a general helper and did not provide medical services to residents.

Update: On Feb. 25, Eldridge pleaded guilty to one count of criminal mistreatment. Five other charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Sentence: Eldridge was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service. Eldridge must pay $44 in restitution. Eldridge was given the court's package for drug abuse treatment, ordered to have no contact with the victim and may not work as a caregiver during probation.
